The Design:
This commemorative silver proof dollar celebrates 100 years of the Calgary Stampede. Artist Steve Hepburn captures the wild spirit of the Stampede’s bareback bronc rodeo event. A horse advances on the viewer head-first, its hind legs fully raised behind in as it prepares to extend them fully behind it. Its front hooves kick up a dramatic cloud of dust and dirt as the fearless cowboy battles for control. From the vantage point of ideal ring-side seats, the viewer perceives in fine detail the required one-arm clutching stance of the mustachioed cowboy whose face, locked in determination, is just visible beneath the brim of his cowboy hat. “Calgary Stampede” is depicted in Western typeface that gives the feel of an old-time rodeo poster.
